Hi there:

Anyone know where I might download SHEET MUSIC FOR

                   TILL WE MEET AGAIN


This one......
Smile the while you kiss me sad adieu,
When the clouds roll by I'll come to you,
Then the skies will seem more blue
Down in lovers lane my dearie...
Wedding bells will ring so merrily,
Every tear will be a memory,
Wait and pray each night for me,
Till we meet again.

Thanks so much,
Gladys :)

I could be wrong, but I remember this as Don Messer's closing theme. We did it last week at a special event in a retirement home. All those old girls and guys were singing along and several were dancing. Choked me up.

TILL WE MEET AGAIN
by Raymond B. Egan (music by Richard Whiting) - 1918

C                   G7
Smile the while you bid me sad adieu,
                     C                C7
When the clouds roll by I'll come to you.
F                   C         Am
Then the skies will seem more blue,
Dm             G7          G#7
Down in lover's lane, my dearie.
C                  G7
Wedding bells will ring so merrily,
                  C
Every tear will be a memory.
    F                  C       Am
So wait and pray each night for me,
Dm      G7    C
Till we meet again.

Gladys, it's easy to transpose to any key the Scorch score HERE (Click on the "two flats" icon).

Yes, this is well known as the 'Don Messar closing tune' !!

I play it (FIDDLE, we close off our Weekly Jam Sessions with this tune
) in key of G; a friend recently asked me if I
could give them Sheet Music for it ... and I thought perhaps I might find a more decent version than that which I scratch out!! LOL

Gladys, look in the other thread linked by Masato.   There you will find a couple more sheet music references that are better than Levy. Jim gave a link to Indiana U, Masato gave one for American Memory/Duke. Check them out.

The Levy Collection has just changed its design, along with URL for each song. This seems to be the new address for "Till We Meet Again."

Gladys: The Levy site has your tune in the key of Ab. To transpose the tune into your requested key of A, play the notes as written on the ledger lines but imagine the key signature as being 3 sharps instead of 4 flats. Your pitch will be a half tone higher than is written on the sheet music.

Somewhere buried in the bowels of Mudcat is a discussion (I can't find it) on the "Rule of Seven" which allows a semi-tone key change without rewriting the music by hand.
Perhaps someone with better search skills than I can make a link.

It was the most popular song of World War 1


Our band plays it in Australia at Nursing Homes

Thank you...guest Norval... for telling me how to change that

score to the key of A !   And if you ever come across the Post on

"Rule of Seven" (wich allows a semi-tone key change without

rewriting the music by hand ) I, for one, would be very interested

in learning more about this.


I went to the SCORCH place... is there something to download before

it is possible to see the score?


Once again, thanks so much for your help

Gladys:
"The Rule of Seven" as I understand it, is transposing to a different key but reading the same sheet music. Using this tune as an example, the scale of Ab has 4 flats in the key signature (Bb Eb Ab Db).
Raise those a half tone to make them naturals. The remaining notes in the scale are naturals (C F G), raise those half a tone to make them sharps and you now have the scale (key) of A. You may now play from the same sheet of music but in perhaps an easier key.

The rule is Sharps plus Flats must equal 7. Note that each key change is only half a tone and the transposition can be in either direction, flats to sharps or sharps to flats.

6 flats (Gb) + 1 sharp (G) = 7
5 flats (Db) + 2 sharps (D) = 7
4 flats (Ab) + 3 sharps (A) = 7
3 flats (Eb) + 4 sharps (E) = 7
2 flats (Bb) + 5 sharps (B) = 7
1 flat (F) + 6 Sharps (F#) = 7
0 flats (C) + 7 sharps (C#) = 7

I've got a copy of the sheet music in the piano stool, if the mice haven't eaten it, or shredded it for bedding.

Unfortunately I'm off on my hols so won't have time to scan it until the end of the month,

John
